Cell phone model
The Siemens S40 is a mobile phone. Originally developed as the Bosch 1886 in 2000, the phone was branded as the
Siemens S40
after Siemens acquired the
Bosch
mobile phone division. The
Siemens
S40 is a
tri-band
mobile phone that operates on the
GSM
-900,
GSM
-1800, and
GSM
-1900 networks.

Communication with a computer can be done either through the infrared port (
IrDA
) on the phone or a USB or serial port data cable. Its more distinctive features include the voice memo recorder, the mute feature for conversations, the ability to record phone conversations, and the ringtone composer (a useful alternative for those unsatisfied with the 47
monophonic
ringtones).
In 2005, the phone made it onto
CNET
's list of ten lowest-radiation cell phones, at #10, with a SAR (
specific absorption rate
) of 0.33.

The phone also supports
WAP
1.1,
SMS
,
HSCSD
, and
T9
predictive text input.
The S40 includes a 104x64 pixel monochrome
liquid-crystal display
with a blue backlight, an internal antenna, and rubbery buttons to prevent accidental dialing.
